The administration of the estate had been very contentious, with allegations of a fraudulent will. Letters of administration with no will annexed had been made in favour of one party who had recently been involved in proceedings where the will was pronounced valid. An application for the revocation of the grant was pending. Various orders were made to approve interim actions in the administration of the estate, including payment of accounts to the solicitors involved in the administration.
